This chapter provides an overview of the Archaea and some of their morphological, physiological, biochemical, and molecular properties. It introduces model organisms and systems that have been used to study fundamental properties and principles of archaeal biology, in addition to those that have served as models for understanding the biology of more complex eucaryal cells. The chapter describes phylogeny of Archaea and the origin of life, and gives an overview of the characteristic properties of archaeal cells. Rather than one model organism, a broad range of archaea have proven useful for studying morphology, physiology, molecular mechanisms of adaptation, and so forth. These include Methanothermobacter thermautotrophicus, M. marburgensis, and Methanosarcina spp. for methanogenesis; Thermoplasma for proteolysis; Halobacterium for light-driven proton translocation, gene regulation, chemotaxis, and gas vesicles synthesis; Archaeoglobus for sulfate reduction; Pyrococcus and Acidianus ambivalens for inorganic sulfur metabolism; Sulfolobus, A. ambivalens, Pyrococcus, and the methanogens for electron transport chains; Sulfolobus and Pyrococcus for DNA replication and transcription; Halobacterium, Haloarcula, and Sulfolobus for translation. The chapter also describes the properties of major archaeal taxa according to their ecology and molecular similarity. Important characteristics of some of the key organisms are also included in this chapter. Methanosarcina barkeri, M. mazei, and M. acetivorans are the most well studied methanogens and are important model organisms for studies on acetoclastic methanogenesis, transcription, and chaperonins.
